    Grafts question

    I bark grafted some Bradford pears last spring and most had 2 to 3 grafts. Should I remove all but the strongest graft now or just let them grow as is? These were very large Bradford pears that I cut off about 4ft from the ground. Thanks,

    Deer not eating apples or pears

    This is the first year my apple, crab apple, and pears tress have produced fruit. They all all starting to drop now but the deer don't appear to be eating them. Any ideas why. Is it an acquired taste? I don't think there are eating any of them. Acorns are dropping pretty heavy now.

    Korean Giant Pear tree issue

    I have a Korean Giant Pear tree and the leaves appear to be lime/yellow green. Shouldn't they be dark green like the rest of my pear trees? If this is an issue, any ideas on what it might be and how to remedy it? I just spread some aged manure around it this morning. Thanks

    Opening Day 8 Pointer

    I had a great afternoon. I had two button bucks and 7 turkeys feeding in the food plot. The two button bucks started blowing and running around the food plot. They kept blowing and looking into the thick pines. This 8 pointer walked out.
